From the visual arts to music through to culinary skills – welcome to Maybach 18. Here, in the small town of Lage (Lippe), an experimental field for all kinds of art and artists is emerging: an interdisciplinary project space. Anything is possible, from exhibitions, workshops, supper clubs to magazines – it just has to be new. Maybach 18 connects artists and allows them to try something avant-garde together. “We watch out for current trends in really all directions,” explains Sabrina K., who is setting up the project together with her husband, Gary S. The home of the cultural melting pot is an old shirt sewing workshop, which the couple renovated from scratch.

Parador is supporting the project with the engineered wood flooring, Oak knotty 3-strip, whose rustic flair fits in wonderfully with the former industrial building. There used to be carpet on the floor here, which was in a very poor state from decades of use. Now a fresh wind is blowing into the premises with the engineered wood flooring. “We were really astonished by the crazy change,” says Sabrina. The flooring should not be too elegant, something with character – the knotty profile of the engineered wood flooring fits here perfectly. The pair of artists is completely satisfied: “There has been very, very good feedback from everywhere,” Sabrina beams. “From our craftspeople, our friends and our family, all of them were thrilled.” A new foundation was thus created – for art, the artists and everything that is still to come.
